I’m just gonna say it—this Halloween doesn’t need to be a non-stop party. You don’t need to fill every weekend with trunk-or-treats, themed movie nights, sensory bins, costume parades, and back-to-back sugar-fueled chaos.It’s okay if October feels a little… quiet. Actually, I’d argue it’s better that way. Because here’s the thing:Boredom isn’t the enemy.It’s the doorway to creativity, rest, and resilience.

She was: Overcommitted at work because she didn’t want to seem ungrateful Taking on 90% of household tasks even though both she and her husband worked Volunteering for every PTA, potluck, and spirit day Exhausted, short-tempered, and quietly losing herself Sound familiar?

Then I started doing this one small thing that genuinely shifted how I end my day: 🚿 I started using shower steamers. That’s it.No life overhaul. Just a simple upgrade to the one thing...
